To provide the campus community with access to an AED in the event of a cardiac arrest emergency, units are installed in dedicated cabinets throughout campus at the locations listed below. The wall-mounted cabinets are white with a clear Plexiglas door and are very similar to a fire extinguisher cabinet. The AEDs do not administer a shock to a person who is not in cardiac arrest. Therefore, the risk of causing harm to someone by hooking the unit up to a person is nearly non-existent. Because of their safety features, they are useless to someone wishing to take an AED and use it to play a prank on another.

The AED Committee asks you to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the locations of AEDs.

Campus Center: In main lobby, above fire extinguisher cabinet to right of Grand Central Café

Center for Health Sciences: Second floor, northeast portion of building, on the concrete block wall to left of elevator (around corner) in alcove, to right of door to corridor to Smiddy Hall

Warehouse/Physical Plant Shop: On concrete block wall in between time clock and key box

Ithaca College Boathouse: Immediately on the left as you enter through the main door

College Circles: In the center corridor, outside the lounge

Towers: to be determined
